I had been nine years in the theatre and hadn't had massive success. My only thing was I wanted to be an actor and I didn't care when, where, or how much for.

Just because I have made a point of never losing my accent it doesn't mean I'm an eel-and-pie yob.

Be patient.Of course it will come. It took me years to get an Oscar.

When I'm doing an accent, you shouldn't notice it for a while, if I'm doing it right.

I try to make everyone around me feel comfortable.

One of the great things with comedy is that there's no such thing as a mediocre comedy; it's either uproarious or crap. That's the problem.

I wear a baseball cap all the time, which I would never normally wear, and I walk very fast.
